Alex D. Nesterenko tries to publish as much as he can. Most notably, he has had his drawings shown on Gamasutra.com and in Apex Digest. At one time he printed under the partial pseudonym *Adrian Nesterenko* to prevent confusion with a Soviet painter. He has an infatuation with dead malls and defunct retail chains and, apart from drawing, makes little time for much of anything else.
